Abusive Red Flags Everyone Should Know

One in four women will experience domestic violence at some point in their lifetime. Every day, three women in this country are killed by their husbands or boyfriends.

Victims who find themselves with an abusive partner should be aware of the warning signs that indicate the situation is escalating into a more violent one. “There’s a shortening of time between abusive incidents, along with threats of physical or bodily harm. Another indicator is when the abuser obtains the means by which the threats are made, such as purchasing a gun. Bottom line: If you feel threatened by your partner, don’t wait to get help.

Avoid becoming a statistic by recognizing the warning signs of an abusive partner before you become entangled with them. The following are some indicators of potentially abusive relationships.
